Bouncer's 1997 murder trial nears end

A so-called damning error on a pension application form was made by a public servant not by a bouncer now accused of murdering his wife 20 years ago, a Sydney jury has been told.

Soon after his teenage wife disappeared, Steve Frank Fesus initially ticked the "no" box on the form when asked if she was still living, according to the prosecution at his NSW Supreme Court trial.

But in closing submissions on Tuesday, his barrister Keith Chapple SC said "apart from the unlikelihood of a murderer making a mistake like that" the defence submitted that the circular marking was an example of the public servant's marking on other documents.

Fesus, 46, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Jodie Fesus, 18, between 9pm on August 11 and 5 am on August 12, 1997 at their Shellharbour home, on the NSW south coast,

On September 14, 1997, an anonymous male rang police from a public phone giving directions to locate human remains at Gerroa.

Police then found the teenager's body in a partially uncovered shallow grave at Seven Mile Beach.

Before the discovery of her body, Fesus applied for a pension on a form where the "no" tick was changed to "yes", an amendment he initialled.
